Bewitched

When the newly-married Darrin and Samantha Stephens (Dick York and Elizabeth Montgomery) decide to purchase a new home of their own rather than rent, Darrin asks Sam to meet him to look at a property that he thinks is suitable. Samantha decides to go early and takes Endora (Agnes Moorehead) along with her.



From the outside, we see that the house has no lawns or gardens and obviously, no inside furniture either. Endora amuses herself by adding grass, flowers, trees and shrubs to the outside of the property so that she and Samantha can get a look at what it would look like when it was properly established. Little do they know that they are being closely watched by the world's nosiest neighbor, Gladys Kravitz, (Alice Pearce) who lives with her incredibly dull and lazy husband, Abner, (George Tobias) and has little to occupy herself except peering out of her living room curtains and watching what the neighbours are doing.



Both Alice and her husband are convinced that she is seeing things when the grass and flowers etc. appear out of nowhere in front of the house opposite. Meanwhile, Samantha and Endora go inside and start adding furniture and drapes to the empty rooms and have a wonderful time changing color schemes and furniture styles. Finally, Darrin arrives to see the house at about the same time that Mrs. Kravitz decides that she must go and investigate the strange goings on. Endora quickly leaves (as does all the furniture) and Darrin answers the door to Mrs. Kravitz thinking she must be his mother-in-law whom he is yet to meet.



A very funny episode with lots of highjinks and humor as we see the Kravitz's for the first time and realise what a major part of Darrin and Samantha's lives they will be when the couple move into Morning Glory Circle.
